Is it possible to see where rotor is currently positioned in vdr-rotor?
No, there is no feedback from the rotor, so the plugin can't know.
But plugin may calculate it itself, I can't as a human when I move few steps east or west... after few moves I don't know where rotor is directed.
Does the rotor move if you e.g say "Drive East".
Of course, it works, I applied patch.
Your rotor must be directed to True South.
It is not, and I have no problems with using it in Windows.
Otherwise it won't work for satellites which are further in eastern and western direction.
I have 60cm dish, so I use just few satelites near Hotbird. Limits are set to 70 so it is not problem at all.
To adjust all stored position you must find one satellite and then send the recalculate command.
Yes, I am trying to do it (as in Windows), but I am unable to find anything with vdr-rotor, because signal information is always positive, I don't understand how it works. I can move rotor step by step and I don't see signal lows and highs.
All needed diseqc commands are explained here: http://www.eutelsat.org/satellites/pdf/Diseqc/associated%20docs/position _app_note_v1.pdf
Thanks a lot.
